Answer:

A. $2.00

B. $26.99

Step-by-step explanation:

0.5 x 49.99 = 24.995

49.99 - 24.995 = 24.995

0.08 x 24.995 = 1.9996 and round to the nearest hundredth

24.995 + 1.9996 = 26.9946

round to the nearest hundredth

Answer:

Part a: 1.9996

Part b: 26.9946

Step-by-step explanation:

STEP 1:

Find the unit rate (1% of 49.99). You should get 0.4999. Then, multiply 0.4999 by 50. You should get 24.995.

STEP 2:

Find the unit rate of 24.995. You should get 0.24995. Then multiply 0.24995 by 8. <u>You should get 1.9996 (answer for part a).</u>

<u />

STEP 3:

Add 1.9996 to 24.995. <u>You should get 26.9946 (answer to part b).</u>

In The autumn 40% of the leaves on a tree are yellow and 24% of them are green the remaining 72 leaves are half yellow how many

Charra [1.4K]

Percentage of yellow leaves on a tree during Autumn = 40%

Percentage of green leaves on a tree during Autumn = 24%

Percentage of half yellow leaves on the tree during Autumn :

$= \tt100 - 40 + 24$

$= \tt 100 - 64$

$= \tt 36 \%$ Thus, the percentage of half yellow leaves on the tree during Autumn = 36%

Number of half yellow leaves on the tree = 36%

Let the total number of leaves on the tree be x.

Which means :

$= \tt36 \% \: of \: x = 72$

$= \tt \frac{36}{100} \times x = 72$

$= \tt \frac{36 \times x}{100} = 72$

$= \tt \frac{36x}{100} = 72$

$= \tt 36x = 72 \times 100$

$= \tt36x = 7200$

$= \tt x = \frac{7200}{36}$

$\color{plum} = \tt \: x = 200$

Thus, total number of leaves on the tree = 200

Number of yellow leaves on the tree :

$= \tt40 \% \: \: of \: \: 200$

$= \tt \frac{40}{100} \times 200$

$= \tt \frac{40 \times 200}{100}$

$= \tt \frac{8000}{100}$

$\color{plum} \tt = 80 \: yellow \: \: leaves$

Thus, total number of yellow leaves on the tree = 80

Number of green trees on the tree :

$= \tt24 \% \: \: of \: \: 200$

$= \tt \frac{24}{100} \times 200$

$= \tt \frac{24 \times 200}{100}$

$= \tt \frac{4800}{100}$

$\color{plum} = \tt 48 \: green \: \: leaves$

Thus, the total number of green leaves on the tree = 48

Since the sum of all types of leaves form 200[80+48+72=200], we can conclude that we have found out the correct number of each type of leaf.

▪︎Therefore, <em>the total number of leaves on the tree = 200</em>

It always confuses me when they make me do the baby steps

fgiga [73]

A. Alright, we want to multiply one equation by a constant to make it cancel out with the second. Since the first equation has a "blank" y, let's multiply the first equation by <em>2</em>.

3x-y=0 → 2(3x-y=0) = 6x - 2y = 0

5x+2y=22

The answer for this part would be: 6x - 2y = 0 and 5x + 2y = 22

B. So now we combine them:

6x - 2y = 0

+ + +

5x + 2y = 22

= = =

11x + 0 = 22 ← The answer

C. Now that we have the equation 11x = 22, we solve for x

11x = 22 ← Divide both sides by 11

x = 2 ← The answer

D. Now that we have x=2, we plug that back in to 5x+2y=22 and solve for y:

5(2)+2y = 22

10 + 2y = 22

2y = 12

y = 6

<u>Therefore, the solution to this problem is x = 2 and y = 6</u>

Which of the following is equal to the expression above

EleoNora [17]

Answer:

$15 \sqrt[3]{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

${(27 \times 250)}^{ \frac{1}{3} } = {(27 \times 125 \times 2)}^{ \frac{1}{3} } \\ = {27}^{ \frac{1}{3} } \times {125}^{ \frac{1}{3} } \times {2}^{ \frac{1}{3} } \\ = \sqrt[ 3]{27} \times \sqrt[3]{125} \times \sqrt[3]{2} \\ = \sqrt[3]{ {3}^{3} } \times \sqrt[3]{ {5}^{3} } \times \sqrt[3]{2} \\ = 3 \times 5 \times \sqrt[3]{2} \\ = 15 \sqrt[3]{2}$
